Faith of My Fathers Book

The biblical story of Manasseh is not as extensive as that of his father, Hezekiah, so I guess Lynn Austin didn't have as much material to work with as for the first 3 books in this series. However, she's done a good job with imagining the gaps.

I didn't feel quite as invested in the story of Manasseh as I did in Hezekiah's story. I also, for some reason, don't know that I agree with Manasseh being weak and easily led. Although the biblical account is sparse, I imagine that he would have been a stronger and more arrogant king, determined to do whatever he wanted to do. But that is only my opinion!

I liked the story of the fictional Joshua and his family and I look forward to reading the last in the series, Among the Gods, at some point.
